Snow

This morning we had a nice dusting of snow, not a frequent event around here. By the time this picture was taken it was raining; by noon it was mostly gone. It was a good day to spend inside, which I did.

About Me

I'm a Virginian, but more Roundhead than Cavalier. In the digital world I have been a Mac person since '85. A former redhead, I have been a migrant knowledge worker in both the public and private sectors. Along the way I have picked up a couple of master's degrees, neither of which relate directly to the work I have taken on since retiring - historical researcher and writer. I am the father of a redheaded daughter who taught French to middle school youngsters and now is turning the wheels of justice in a Charlotte law office, and husband of a college professor who teaches composition, primarily to first-year's. Granddaughter Lily Rayne arrived on Groundhogs Day, 2010. We have a dog named Jane and a cat, Hokie. My fantasy football team is the WMD's. A Myers-Briggs INFP, I admire the renaissance man ideal, and its modern counterpart, the polytechnic man. Trying to approach these ideals seems natural to me. My daughter calls me Captain Tangent. I still miss my orange and white 1971 VW bus.
